FRESNO, Calif. -- The longest soccer jersey sponsorship in the United States, period. This bold claim is in fact quite accurate to describe the partnership between the Fresno Fuego and Marquez Brothers and El Mexicano Brand. Going back to the Fuego’s inaugural season in 2003, when San Joaquin Memorial High and the old Steiner Field at Fresno Pacific were the team’s home turf, the name ‘El Mexicano’ has been featured on the front of the Fuego uniform.
It is very rare nowadays for sport teams to keep the same title sponsor after one or two seasons, but the Fresno Fuego management is very please to confirm that Marquez Brothers and El Mexicano Brand will continue as the Fresno Fuego marquee sponsor through the 2013 season. As part of their sponsorship, ‘El Mexicano’ will be the presenting sponsor of two home games in 2012 and, in the first date, Fuego fans will receive customized t-shirts celebrating the 10th season of the partnership.
The Fresno Fuego would like to thank Mr. Jaime Marquez and Marquez Brothers and El Mexicano Brand for their support since the very beginning, which was, and still is, fundamental for the Fuego’ success on and off the field.
In preparation for the 2012 campaign, the Fuego will hold their Open Tryouts on November 18-20 at Chukchansi Park. For additional information on registration and fees, visit the Fuego Facebook page at www.facebook.com/fresnofuego or the Fresno Fuego web site, www.fresnofuego.com. The Fuego will not accept any new registrations after November 11th.
